...market, covering everything from auto repairs to making love. By plunking a cassette into their home machines, VCR owners can get beauty tips or financial advice, take a course in Spanish or lessons in bridge, learn how to split the fairway with the help of Jack Nicklaus, or how to split from a spouse with the aid of Divorce Attorney Marvin Mitchelson...
Money made as regal a figure as Jack Nicklaus fling a putter a few weeks back in his alltime display of rapture over an eight-footer, not to win the grand slam, not even to clinch a 20th major championship, but to publicize a condominium development in Arizona at a made-for-TV golf tournament. Ben Hogan would never have wet his pants over such a glory, but there are levels of ego in this. When Bjorn Borg slipped merely to second, ahead of everyone but John McEnroe, Borg had to go. Eleven years removed from his No. 1 rating...
...Gerald Ford, 70, whose life seems to be dogged by minor mishaps, has a knack for turning even the genteel game of golf into a hazardous sport. At the Bing Crosby National Pro-Am tournament in Pebble Beach, Calif., all was going well for Ford and his partner, Jack Nicklaus, 44, until they reached the 15th tee.

"When I'm not here any more," Nicklaus answered softly, "I'll pick somebody else." Following a first-round 73, Nicklaus had to withdraw with a creaky back. Ballesteros has a bad back too, but at the mention of it after his closing...
...father's golfing companions took to calling Tommy "Fly" for "Flytrap Finnegan," the mouthy caddie of the Toonerville Trolley, since young Tom scarcely uttered a word. Stan Thirsk, the Kansas City Country Club pro who would be to Watson what Jack Grout has been to Nicklaus, a lifelong tutor, noticed Tom in a drive, pitch and putt contest at seven. "Usually a kid that age will just haul off and try to slug the ball," Thirsk says, "but already he had a beautiful balance." It was not until five years later that Thirsk took over Watson's schooling...
